Description

See <datalist> in https://webkit.org/blog/8718/new-webkit-features-in-safari-12-1/ as an example. Using that in preference to the custom JQuery thing should make it more accessible and reduce the amount of code.

Research direction

Start by locating the package section box and its custom jQuery implementation; compare it with the linked WebKit datalist example. Done when the box uses a datalist instead of the custom jQuery control and the accessibility improvement is preserved.
